I was fortunate enough to get one of these before they sold out at the Mint when they were first released. Then....just browsing the Mint site early in July 2014 and this coin had the option to "add to cart". So I added it and ordered and it arrived yesterday! Not sure where the Mint was hiding it but was very fortunate to be able to get another. Now just trying to trade one off for one of the other Superman coins! This is one of my favs from the Mint!

I bought two of each Superman coin except for a single gold coin with the intention of flipping the less expensive duplicates, looks like I should have got two gold Superman coins and flipped one of those instead!This silver coin is very well struck and my first cloloured coin purchase.

Once I saw this coin I knew that I had to have it! The content of the coin aside, it is truly an awe inspiring piece. WIth it's own display case to show it off, and a protective cover around the coin, I know that it will be safe and secure for years to come.

When I examined the Superman coins online, this coin was not my favorite. It was however the one my partner wanted. When I saw it physically I have to admit that it may be one of my favorites. It is a classic Superman drawing and the colours are amazing.
